Chapter 1097


    Ernest smiled and said, "Mrs.is, there''s nothing wrong with him; he''s quite healthy. It''s just that he has always put his focus on work, so he doesn''t have time to date. As time went on, he didn''t have much interest in dating anymore."


    At that, he suddenly paused.


    Why was he only talking about Quill''s ws and nothing good? How would he be able to set him up this way? What if Vera''s mother thought that he was saying all these just to shame her daughter?


    Sure enough, when Ernest raised his head, he saw Mabie''s eyes had be somewhat resentful.


    It was normal. After all, no one would want their daughter to be taken advantage of, and his description of his friend sounded questionable.


    "I''m sorry, I mean to say that my friend has a sessful career, but he is not as experienced when ites to rtionships. He doesn''t have any unhealthy habits; he doesn''t smoke, drink or gamble. I noticed Miss Zais has a decent temperament, so I thought I could set her up with my friend. I''m sorry if I offended you."


    Mabie felt a lot better after listening to his exnation.


    "It''s not a big deal that he isn''t experienced in rtionships but... Vera looks rather average. Since your friend has a sessful career, I''m sure he''s used to seeing all kinds of beautiful women, yet he still hasn''t managed to find anyone he likes. So why would he..."


    What Mabie meant was that the man didn''t show interest in stunning women, so why would he be interested in an ugly duckling like Vera.


    Vera looked at Mabie with resentment as she stood beside her.


    Did her mother really give birth to her? Why does she have to attack her like this all the time?


    Ernest found Vera and Mabie''s rtionship amusing. Heposed himself and said, "When my wife and I first got together, she would alwaysin about the beautiful women around me, but as time passed, it was no longer an issue. There are many good-looking people on this pl, but it''s rare to find an interesting soul. It''s important to find someone with a soul that connects to you."


    Mabie was at a loss for words.


    She blinked.


    Ernest''s words were deep and philosophical, but Mabie still understood what he was trying to say. He had meant to say that there would be many beautiful women out there, but apatible personality was what would make the rtionshipst.


    "Perhaps... I''ll try to call him? Maybe you two could meet next time?"


    Vera finally couldn''t help but say euphemistically, "Mr. Lowell, I''m really grateful for your thought, but right now, my focus is on this restaurant, and I''m afraid that I might not have time to deal with other things. I''m really sorry. Truly..."


    She expressed her apologies to him deeply. She hadn''t expected Ernest to set her up with someone. She still had someone in her heart, and she didn''t think it was a good idea to be set up with another person.


    Therefore, before she couldpletely get over her feelings for Quill, she would not be going on any dates or have any progress in her love life. Since she had been back home, she had been introduced to quite a few dates, but she rejected them all. Because of that, rumors and gossip arose.


    "That''s okay. Since your focus is not on this, we can talk about it again when you have the time. I don''t think my friend has any ns to get married in these two years anyway. Although..." Ernest raised his eyebrows and held a pregnant pause. "I may be wrong, but I think he would actually get married instantly if he finds true love."Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Vera was bewildered.


    At this point, Vera thought that Ernest was acting strange. Why was he still telling her about his friend? It had nothing to do with her at all. However, perhaps because he had a close rtionship with that friend, and he couldn''t help but bring it up. Therefore, she didn''t take it to heart. So Vera smiled at him and did not answer.


    It could be seen that she was indeed not interested. Ernest didn''t insist further and left after staying for awhile.


    Vera breathed a sigh of relief.


    Mabie nced at Vera. "You brat, I think you want to be single forever, don''t you?


    Hearing this, Vera shrugged helplessly and then smiled, "I don''t think being single is a bad thing."


    In the afternoon, a customer suddenly asked Vera a question.


    "Madam, why doesn''t your restaurant do delivery? I wanted to order food from your restaurant on the app but I didn''t manage to find it. Sometimes I feel exhausted after getting home from work and really don''t feel like dining out but really miss your pasta here, why don''t you provide delivery service?"


    Delivery service?


    Vera had never thought about this before because the app would charge a certain amount of fee, and it was not cheap. Also, pasta


    wouldn''t taste as good if it was not


    being consumed within a short


    amount of time. Therefore,


    Kera had


    never thought about putting her


    restaurant on the app. Content

    Seeing the man in front of her was a regr customer, Vera replied, "I''ll think about doing delivery service then. I''lle out with a card by then, but if it gets too busy in the restaurant, we won''t do delivery."


    "It''s okay, as long as there is a delivery service. It''s better than nothing!"


    After that, Vera went back to discuss with her parents. David instantly nodded in agreement.


    "Let''s do it then! We should charge for the delivery. I don''t know how to cook, but I sure know my way around North City. I can go anywhere; let me do


    it."


    "Dad." Vera frowned. "You''re not that old, but you''re not young anymore either. If I were to have you out to send deliveries, I might as well not open the restaurant."


    "What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you underestimate your father like this? Don''t you know some people get stronger as they get older? What''s wrong with helping my daughter with food delivery? Vivy, you just focus on the business and leave all the errands to Dad."


    David said with overflowing love for her daughter. Vera''s eyes started to tear up.


    "It''s all right, Vivy. Let him do it. It''s good for his health to move around."


    After the matter was settled, Vera quickly made it happen. She got people to print name cards for her restaurant. Then, she got phone number and a delivery


    a


    tform. After it was a very


    she


    gave out the name cards to her customers and hopefully they would contact the restaurant if they were interested in ordering food. Content

    There weren''t many people who called for delivery in the beginning, and all the deliveries were done by David. Then, more orders started toe in, and Vera didn''t want her father to do it alone, so she started sending deliveries herself too.


    On weekends, Sam woulde over and help too.


    After some time, Vera''s parents found Sam very likable. Sometimes Mabie would say to Vera in private.


    "Sam seems like a great guy. I think you should consider him."


    Vera felt a headache from Mabie''s words. Vera had told Sam many times that he didn''t have to help her at the restaurant anymore because she won''t be able to repay him. Sam told her that she didn''t need to, and he did it of his free will.


    Therefore, she wanted to pay him a sry, but he refused. Then, Vera insisted that he shouldn''te anymore.


    Who knew that he would stille to the restaurant to help every weekend despite her asking him not to. Vera felt troubled.


    "Mom, stop bringing it up. We are never going to be together."


    "Why not? Are you still thinking of the man who broke up with you? What is there about him for you to hold on to? Sam is a great guy. Don''t throw away something great for something lesser."


    "What are you talking about? Love is about fate, and you''re not supposed to force it. Why do you make it sound like it''s a deal?"


    Quill would appear the next day...
